Hey, this the house rent boogie!
ย
I come home last Friday
ย
Tell the woman I done lost my job
She said "That don't confront me
That's so I have my rent next Friday"
And next Friday come
I didn't have the rent
And out the door I went
ย
Goin' right 'cross the street, so here
Try to get this rent together
Now come on now, y'all
Some give me a nickel
And some give me a dime
'Cause I'm tired of sleepin' in this moon but it's every night
'Cause it's gettin' cold
Now I got this rent, now let's get on back and have a ball
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
ย
Look at that old woman, y'all, she boogie'n herself
She feel good, oh that rent
Hey, hey
Hey
ย
Lord have mercy
I feel so good now
It's nice and warm in here
I don't have to go cold no more
Hey, hey, hey
ย
